Report: Angelina Jolie Will Play Marilyn Monroe In New Film

angelinamarilynmovie.jpg

She's already agreed to take on the role of female icon Cleopatra, but now Jolie may be sinking her teeth into a 20th century legend, Marilyn Monroe.

Andrew O'Hagan, who wrote The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog says that Jolie is set to play the famous blonde bombshell in the screen version of his novel, reports The Telegraph.

The book follows Marilyn's last two years through the eyes of her pet, Maf (short for "Mafia"), a Maltese terrier which was a gift from Sinatra in 1960.

Scarlett Johansson was previously mentioned for the Monroe role, as was Mad Men's Christina Hendricks.

George Clooney is apparently playing Frank Sinatra in the film.

Do YOU think Angelina would make a good Marilyn?



Hmm...

Angie's too old for these roles. Maybe she could play Marilyn's housekeeper or something.

MM was a horrible actresss more famous for her scandals and death at a young age.

Bi ho’s Bloho and Joho are raping Marilyn’s legacy.

@ 10:55-- perhaps LiLo is perfect for the role then because she sure can relate ahahahahaha.

Lindsay would make a great Marilyn. People love to hate on her but she's a good actress, much more believable and stunning than Angelina.

I think they should get a fresh face for these kinda movies...It would probably do better... instead on it being a angie or lindsay film it would be a marilyn film.



Posted by: Anonymous

no none of them..fresh face for sure...angie over done..lindsay doesnt deserve to be in a film about marilyn and scarlett is an annoying actress

Who wants to see a movie about some old dead chick?



Posted by: Manon

No way she should/could play MM, she looks too old def ! Plus, she absolutely doesn't have the curves to do so ! Scarlett J. would be way more appropriate, though I'm not a fan of hers either. And BTW, isn't Jolie supposed to retire ??? But how many movie projects does she have ???

A dog is telling the story so it should
be a little on the strange side anyway.
Angie is so totally over done. I agree
she might make a good housekeeper except
she doesn't know anything about that.

awful choices
Angie to old looking
scarlett to harsh looking
lindsay....Just over-all NO

@10:55 that's why she made more money than you ever will

Why not make a Anna Nicole Smith movie instead..really get it.. both died in
bed ..both were found face down overdosed on pills and depression...
Why Angie when you have so many people
imatating her..Lindsay and Paris ..she
would not do a movie through the eyes of
the dog.. really that Frank Sinatra gave
her..Well were was the pup when she died
when the maid came in there was no mention of a dog.. or in her bio before
she died.As if George would take on a silly role..like this a FAKE DOG..!!!

worst casting ever! Christina Hendricks would have been really good in the role. Heck, Amy Adams would be better in the role, she could easily pull off Marilyn's personality.

Marilyn was beautiful and very curvy. Angelia is too skinny and doesn't have the sex appeal that Marilyn had. Find someone more alluring. Jolie just doesn't do it.

Mena Suvari would be perfect curves and all.



Posted by: Nina

Just sick of seeing her everywhere!

There are so many actresses who would be incredible in this role!

Can't see her anymore!

I would love to see Lohan as Marilyn Monroe.. she's a good actress and has sex appeal!



Posted by: Anonymous

We have all seen Lindsay try to pull off Marilyn Monroe, and she is not even REMOTELY convincing. But if someone decides to do a movie about Marilyn MANSON, Lindsay might be a good fit!



Posted by: Lizzy

What happened to: "I'm going to do maybe one movie a year for a couple years, and then stay home with my children"? She said that back when Shiloh was born.



Posted by: Anonymous

No one should hire Lindsay, A drug addict who can't focus. She can't act.



Posted by: Anonymous

Not Lohan she is the worst actress ever



Posted by: Anonymous

I wouldnt see any movie that has blohan in it



Posted by: Anonymous

Angie for sure!! Got my vote



Posted by: Anonymous

This must be a joke, Angelina can only play a zombie in some horror movie



Posted by: nathalie

what do you think about Naomi Watts ?? i thinks she's perfect to play Marilyn



Posted by: Sara

Um you people are nuts. Marilyn was 36 years old when she died. So if the movie follows her through the last two years of her life, then that would make her 35 then 36. Angelina is 35, not too old to play the part, BUT WAY too skinny for Marilyn. Marilyn was very curvy, nothing like Angelina, who is straight up and down like a boy figure. Scarlet is perfect except way too young to play a 35 year old woman. None of these women would be good for this part. there has got to be some better choices to do Marilyn justice!

Naomi Watts Naomi Watts Naomi Watts!!!!

Angelina would made a hit. Lohan and Johanson are not really that interesting... Although Angelina does not look like Marilyn in a physical way, she is so believable when seducing and having emotional problems. So I support Angelina....

Angelina can't act plus she looks more like the Crypt Keeper than a sexy feminine woman

I think even though Angelina has a generous lips like Marilyn, she doesn't look like her, she doesn't have the curvy body and soft skin of Marylin. Sorry but Lindsay doesn't look AT ALL like Marilyn. I would prefer Scarlett, since she has Marilyn's vintage vibe, sensuality and curves, but it will still be good to see a new face, give a chance to new talents out there.
